im a candidate for president in 2012. i promise to get rid of the minimum wage, all environmental regulations on business, remove the healthcare reform from law, take away unions rights to collective bargaining and reduce corporate tax rates down to 3%. will you vote for me?
Nope. The useless paper work I have to do for my business has at least doubled if not tripled in the last 3 years. Every month, I have a new fresh out of college kid at the door telling me out a new govt regulation to comply with. Really important stuff too. I have porta pottys on my job sites. I now have to document the exact time and first and last name of the guy cleaning the toilets. We use primus labs for our food safety program. They are considered the top level food safety auditing company. Well guess what, now the govt has decided to come up with their own program. Hit you with a fee for more govt workers to come out. I had to buy a govt supplied wind sock and measure the wind on a job site. I could go on and on. They even sent a kid that couldn't speak english. I'm serious, not a lick of english.
The funny thing is, where we need regulation, on wall street, we've got none. Obama's buddy John Corzine just bankrupted his company using insane leverage with risky bets. My buddy has an investment company. He used MF global as a clearinghouse for some of his accounts. His accounts are required by law to be segregated from MF globals own funds. Well they weren't, and now all his money and clients money is frozen/missing right now. So basically this administration cares more about who's cleaning shit out of my toilets then they do righting the wrongs that got us in this economic meltdown.
